Palestine was never a land without a people for a people without a land — this notion is a myth. Similar to the notion that Native Americans were savages or the myth that blacks are inferior to whites. Or that the Jewish people are evil, and can not be trusted, or that all Muslims are terrorists. These non-truths grow out of greed, ignorance, and tribalism… out of trying to justify inhumane acts and human cruelty.

Israel is like the rapist who claims he was forced to rape because the woman was dressed provocatively. On some level we are all guilty, we are all complicit, and therefore share in the burden of trying to make things right, both in society and within ourselves.
